RE: Shareholder Meeting notes.

Philip,

More great comments about the meeting!

A few more comments:

They said that Clik would be available "in a few months". (I'm not sure whether to believe this--I still think "by the end of the year" is more realistic.)

They had two prototypes there at the Clik display. Comparing them closely, there were a number of differences on the circuit board. I think that until recently (when they shipped over 100 prototypes), it was still very much a work in progress.

Also, when they mentioned NEC as a Clik licensee, didn't they say "like MCI", as if MCI was already a licensee? Or did I just hear something wrong?

Oh, and most importantly: They WILL hit the $99 price target for Zip by the end of the year.

Philip,

Great post about the meeting. I almost felt like I was there myself.
Anyway, did they say much about the target market of the Clik disk?
I still don't know what they plan on doing with that device.

BTW, as of this post, IOM is about to pass the $9.00 mark. What a
bull run for a stock many said was dead in the water.

Are you sure you didn't have a tape recorder??

I too was impressed with the Clik! display.

One thing I did notice, is that there appeared to be a high percentage of a little "older crowd". Admittedly, I was surprised about this...
